New Delhi [India], July 3: As online and distance education continues to expand across India due to its affordability and flexibility, more students and working professionals are choosing flexible learning programs over regular programs that require daily classroom attendance. However, they also face several challenges while choosing an online or distance degree program due to a lack of proper guidance and reliable information. To bridge this information gap, SODE (School of Online and Distance Education) Counselling Services LLP, also known as Distance Education School has helped more than4 lakh students and working professionals secure admission to online and distance education programs through free career counselling and access to accurate information.
There is plenty of information available about regular universities and courses, but very little reliable information about online and distance education programs on the internet. Moreover, much of this information is not verified. As a result, students and working professionals often lack the information they need, as visiting multiple universities requires significant time and financial resources. They also remain unaware of eligibility, validity, approvals, career options, placement assistance, student support services, the Learning Management System (LMS), self-learning materials, admission deadlines, the admission process, fee payment methods, EMI facilities, and other important details. Distance Education School addresses these challenges by providing verified information, helping students pursue higher education with a better understanding of universities, courses, and their return on investment.
Distance Education School has continued its efforts to simplify this process by providing expert counselling and technology-driven guidance to students across India. The institution was established in 2012 to support students who want to pursue higher education with flexibility. The platform has counselled more than 10 lakh students since its establishment, with over 1 lakh students receiving guidance during the last 12 months alone. Distance Education School connects students with information on more than 200 universities, including its partner universities. The portal also provides a verified list of UGC-DEB-approved online and distance education universities in India, NAAC-accredited universities, WES-accredited universities, and fake universities in India.
SODE Counselling provides free expert career guidance through experienced mentors. There are no hidden charges for counselling or admission-related enquiries. The institution provides guidance based on students’ budgets, interests, and career goals. The portal also provides verified information about distance and online degree courses offered by partner universities such as Lovely Professional University, Manipal University, Amity University, and several others. In addition, Distance Education School provides details about courses offered by government, open, and global universities. This helps students choose the right university and course from a wider range of options.

The Distance Education portal also integrates advanced artificial intelligence technology to guide students and working professionals. The portal offers various AI-powered tools, such as Suggest University, Suggest Course, University Comparison, Course Comparison, Schedule Personalised Counselling, Scholarship Coupon Codes, CV Builder, CV Score Checker, and an ROI Calculator. These tools help students select a university and compare universities based on courses, fees, approvals, and other important factors. Students can schedule counselling sessions according to their convenience and also take advantage of video counselling sessions.
During its 14-year journey, Distance Education School has focused on building a platform that helps students choose a UGC-recognized university and a course that offers better career returns in the future. The institution continues to study the research behaviour of students and working professionals as they explore admission opportunities in higher education programs in India. It also provides guidance about global universities that offer industry-oriented courses, such as DBA programs. With growing interest in online and distance learning, Distance Education School expects technology-assisted counselling to play an important role in helping students make the right decisions for their future.
